Fluttering by...

Hey there!

Sorry about the rush post yesterday. I had a wonderful weekend and a great girls day out with my mom and sisters on Sunday. I didn't do any crafty shopping but I got some great deals on some new clothes and even found a dress and skirt that I had been hoping to get my hands on. Needless to say I am quite the happy camper. :)

For my card today I've colored up the Shy Fairy digital stamp from Some Odd Girl. Unfortunately I don't see her in the shop anymore so I couldn't link her up. I actually colored Shy Fairy up a couple days ago without having pulled any papers to go with her and once I found these old Making Memories scraps I was kinda kicking myself. Originally I had colored her skirt in a yellow and bright pink combo but once I had that floral print I needed to make some changes. So I added the orange over the yellow and I didn't get as nice a contrast as I would have if I had just started with orange in the first place and I also darkened the pink of the skirt to go a bit more purple. In the background I stamped the sentiment onto the purple paper and then free hand cut the swooshes following the curve and flow of the words. I really like the movement it adds to the over all design.
